If you recognised the quote, then you're clearly as much of a fan as we are of the classic 80s sci-fi comedy classic: Back to the Future. We couldn't let an entire day devoted to the celebration of this timeless trilogy go by without donning our body warmer and firing up the flux capacitor before we're outatime!
Great Scott!
Today, 21st October 2015 is 'Back to the Future' day.
At 4:29 this afternoon Marty McFly and Dr Emmett Brown will come down from the sky in their flying DeLorean time machine from the year 1985 to get a glimpse of what the future has in store.
The 2015 that Back to the Future Part 2 envisioned didn't entirely come to pass, but it got us thinking at ERP Central about how business technology has evolved over the last 30 years and what we might expect in the next 30 years.
Unfortunately, we don't have a flying DeLorean, but let's imagine that we do and buckle up for a trip back to the '80s!
Back then, ERP was heavy!
During the '80s ERP was better known as MRP; Materials Resource Planning then Manufacturing Resource planning later in the decade. The power to drive them would have been the equivalent of enough plutonium to generate 1.21 gigawatts and reach 88 miles per hour. Or something close to that anyway.
Read my fax! The future is here.
Over the decades ERP has evolved. While there are still businesses out there that prefer their information to be delivered to them by 'roads' (ethernet), where we're going, when it comes to business technology, we don't need roads! Or a fax machine in every room either. In fact, we won't need a flying car or hoverboard.
With the advancements of Cloud technology you're now able to run your business from wherever you are in the world. And you don't even have to ramp up your amp to 11 for more output.
It's our density. I mean, our destiny.
But where will we be in 2045 when it comes to ERP?
In Back to the Future Part 2 we saw a number of predictions;
The release of Jaws 19. Will we see the release of Windows 40?
There were voice automated controls in the home. Perhaps we'll be able to update our records in ERP by speaking them rather than typing them.
Head mounted displays were worn in the movie. Virtual reality headsets are now available, so who's to say that we won't be able to access our ERP using those? Maybe you'll be able to update and manipulate data in a 3D virtual space?
It's time to make like a tree, and get out of here
It won't be long before some of the things that you rely on to do business today will be obsolete. It may be that you will be able to run every aspect of your business through your ERP. Who knows, in 30 years from now ERP itself may be obsolete and a new wave of technology could be just around the corner.
Back to the Future got a few things right about 2015 (and a few things not-so right). Who knows, some of our predictions may come true.
Doc Brown, if you read this can you let us know?
In the meantime, we certainly think that Microsoft Dynamics NAV has a future, so give us a call if you need a new system and we can help you start to build a better, brighter, more efficient future for your business.

FIU came in worrying about The Alamodome noise. Their first possession showed why.
The emptiness of the 65,000-seat stadium's entire upper deck didn't matter as much as the height of the seating and the low ceiling. Once the crowd, announced at 25,318, got going on a third-and-6 from the FIU 45, the Panthers' silent count failed. Half the line jumped about a half second before the snap.
OK, third-and-11 from the 40. Volume rise. Left tackle Aaron Nielsen jumps early.
Nielsen later would recover the second fumble by freshman quarterback Alex McGough. But the biggest fumble recovery of the half came by freshman running back Alex Gardner.
Just after Gardner took an option handoff, UTSA junior defensive lineman Jason Neill grabbed Gardner and slung him into a fumble. Junior defensive tackle Brian Price arrived, but to pick up the ball as Gardner gamely scrambled along the ground. Then, Gardner somehow outmaneuvered and outfought Price and two of his teammates to recover the ball at the FIU 4.
Following FAU's lead, UTSA avoided Panthers redshirt junior cornerback/kick returner Richard Leonard on kickoffs.
The opening kickoff of the game got sent deep, but to the right. Fifth-year senior Glenn Coleman fielded it at the 1-yard line and ran it back to the FIU 21. The second kickoff, after the Roadrunners' touchdown with 39 seconds left in the half, was squibbed up the middle to Cory White. Squibs aren't uncommon in that situation, but in a field-position heavy game that already featured five fumbles, UTSA still didn't feel the odds of an FIU turnovers were as high as the odds of a big runback.
Saturday's game began with the first scoreless first quarter in an FIU game since the season opening loss to Bethune-Cookman.
Actually, the Roadrunners scored on a screen pass when sophomore running back Jarveon Williams took a screen pass, skipped past an attempted tackle and raced 55 yards up the right sideline to a touchdown. But senior offensive tackle Josh Walker lined up a step too far off the line, earning a flag for an illegal formation penalty.
The first Roadrunners sack on McGough came from senior linebacker Robert Singletary. Singletary wears No. 50 and is from Kingwood, Texas.
So, any relation to linebacker Mike Singletary, a Texas native who went to Baylor before his Hall of Fame career while wearing No. 50 with the Chicago Bears? Nope.
FIU's captains for the game were fifth-year senior center Donald Senat, junior running back Lamarq Caldwell, junior defensive end Michael Wakefield and Leonard. FIU lost the toss, but got the ball first when UTSA deferred until the second half.

|Spotlight on legal challenges facing asylum seekers
(Washington, D.C.) July 13, 2015 — In recent years, an increasing number of Central Americans have migrated north to the United States, reaching peak numbers in the summer of 2014. Of particular concern has been the increase in the number of unaccompanied and separated migrant children from the Northern Triangle of Central America — Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.
Jesuit Refugee Service/USA and U.S.-based Jesuit law schools have engaged in efforts to respond to the number of children and families from Central America seeking protection, and are jointly committed to collaboratively expanding efforts to address this critical issue. In particular, Jesuit law schools are active through research, training, outreach and education, and direct legal representation. The findings of this joint effort are elaborated upon in the report: A Fair Chance for Due Process: Challenges in Legal Protection for Central American Asylum Seekers and Other Vulnerable Migrants.
In April 2015, JRS/USA surveyed 13 U.S.-based Jesuit law schools regarding their work in this area. As a result, Jesuit law schools identified a series of challenges in representing asylum seekers and other vulnerable migrants, including:
• Procedural challenges in managing a mandated expedited docket for these migrants.
• Legal challenges posed by limitations in the acceptance of gang-related violence claims.
• Logistical challenges related to consistent and reliable access to clients and courts.
• Challenges accessing counseling and support services for clients.
To address these challenges, JRS/USA and Jesuit Law Schools recommend the following policy changes:
• Guarantee Legal Representation for Minors — We urge Congress to introduce and pass legislation that guarantees legal representation and access to a child advocate for every unaccompanied minor.
• Increase Resources for Legal Representation — We urge the White House and Congress to support a substantial increase in resources in the FY16 Federal Budget for programs that provide greater access to legal representation for unaccompanied minors and asylum applicants.
• Stop Expedited Processing for Children & Families — We urge the White House, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security to reverse their policy on expedited processing for unaccompanied minors and families from Central America.
• Recognize Gang-Based Asylum Claims — We urge the USCIS Asylum Offices and the Board of Immigration Appeals to recognize asylum claims involving gang violence.
• Track Jurisprudence on Gang-Based Asylum Cases — We urge legal service providers, including law schools and non-governmental organizations, to begin to compile a database of, and track decisions on, gang-based claims.
• Minimize Transfer of Clients and Increase Access to Transportation Services — We urge the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice to focus on the best interest of the child when considering their placement upon arrival in the U.S. and to minimize the transfer of clients in order to avoid interruption of access to legal services. We also call on State and Local organizations to consider ways to increase access to transportation services for those navigating the legal process.
• Recognize Signs of Trauma & Provide Access to Counseling Services — We urge the courts to offer training to judges in recognizing and understanding trauma, and to consider trauma when making their determinations. We also encourage the Department of Health and Human Services, State officials, and Local officials to increase access to counseling services for this vulnerable population.
• Reform the U.S. Detention System — We urge the White House and Congress to consider alternative measures to detention, including supervised release, case management, and community support programs, that will serve to ensure court appearances and due process.
• Provide Additional Avenues of Relief — We urge the White House, the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security to expand the available avenues of relief for asylum seekers and other vulnerable migrants. This includes taking all possible measures to begin admissions under the Central American Minors (CAM) Refugee/Parole Program; considering new Temporary Protected Status for the Northern Triangle countries of Central America; and pursuing efforts for comprehensive immigration reform that prioritizes the best interest of the child.
Addressing the needs of migrants seeking protection and refuge in the U.S. is a complex and multi-layered issue. While these challenges, and related recommendations, do not address all of the issues related to this topic, we share them in an effort to provide testimony to what these migrants are currently facing as they navigate the legal system upon their arrival in the U.S. This also serves as a call to action to Jesuit law schools and the larger community to continue, as well as increase, investments in serving this vulnerable population.
The full report is available here.
Participating law schools are: Boston College, Creighton University, Fordham University, Georgetown University, Gonzaga University, Loyola University Chicago (in close collaboration with the Center for the Human Rights of Children housed at Loyola University Chicago), Loyola Law School Los Angeles, Loyola University New Orleans, Saint Louis University (in close collaboration with the Catholic Legal Assistance Ministry housed at Saint Louis University), Santa Clara University, Seattle University, University of Detroit Mercy, and University of San Francisco.

Anilah is the solo project from vocalist and composer Dréa Drury, a musician based in the Selkirk Mountains of Western Canada. She combines the shamanic and esoteric with modern musical elements. Earlier this year she released Warrior, a mysterious and enchanting EP that features a captivating 36 minute musical experience.
Rolling Thunder (3:19)
Warrior (11:45)
Calling the Others (6:25)
Medicine Chant (15:05)
Femetalism recently spoke to Dréa about the project, her influences and how the project came about in this inspiring interview.
Hi Dréa, can you tell us a little about yourself?I grew up in a remote village in the mountains of British Columbia. Because of this I spent a lot of time in nature, and a lot of time alone. My creativity was a solace to me, an unseen friend who I could always rely on. From an early age my grandmother taught me music and at 12 I was composing my own songs on piano and guitar. Around this time I started listening to a lot of music which would influence the direction my music would take, artists like Bjork, Tool, NIN, and Dead Can Dance. I went on to study music and composition at college, and afterward pursued private apprenticeships with vocal teachers who inspired me to push past my perceptions of how the voice could be used. My time with Ali Akbar Khan, who is from a long lineage of classical Indian masters, effected me deeply and entirely changed my relationship to music.
Anilah is your solo project. Can you tell us about how the project was born?This project was formed after a long break from composing music, and during a very difficult time in my life. In the past I had been in a few projects but my heart was never in it. The music for the album Warrior was my own initiation into a different way of approaching music, a new way of composition which honoured feminine principles and techniques which I learned studying Indian Classical Raga.
Your music draws influences from traditional shamanic sound practices, sacred chant, dark tribal and Indian classical music. How have you brought those influences together to create your unique sound?By experimenting. A lot of experimenting. The way that everything comes together remains a mystery to me, it tends to happen organically and is not only effected by the music that I have studied or listened to in the past, but also the landscape in which the music is written. The way that I approach composing music now is very much influenced by my fascination with shamanic states of trance, which allow the intellect to give way to something larger and quite unnamable. It also allows me to care less about creating an "agenda" with music (form/structure), and lets the sound exist for its own sake, taking the listener on a journey toward presence and away from time based consciousness. It seems as though we are starved for this kind of experience, and I like to give people permission to rest in these other states - which are integral for health on all levels.
What motivates you to create your music?
The music of Anilah was born from a practice that is deeply inspired by nature and a willingness to engage with the natural world within a framework of reciprocity. In this way, artistic expression becomes a symbiotic relationship with the elements. All of the music is composed in nature, while walking or in meditation. An unspoken conversation occurs which influences the composition, and by entering into this state, I find myself listening to melodic structures that are inherent within all of nature. There is a widening of the senses, and an unravelling of conceptual boundaries. In turn, my art and music are continuously influenced by these practices which cultivate benevolence, compassion, and gratitude. Especially in regard to the shadow aspects of ones own nature.
Warrior was released in January 2014 and features 4 beautiful, atmospheric tracks. Can you tell us more about these tracks?Warrior is the debut EP from Anilah, which features three invocations (Rolling Thunder, Calling the Others, and Medicine Chant) and one feature track (Warrior). The invocations were composed and recorded live in a ritual setting and had very little editing in terms of form and arrangement. This was meant to capture the raw feeling that I was trying to convey through sound.
The music from this album is meant as an introduction to Anilah, and to all of the different forms of her expression. The sound comes from a great love of nature and a need to express this gratitude by offering something of beauty back.
What are you planning to do next?I am currently working on two projects, one which is very celestial/ambient in nature, the other is darker, heavier, and more tribal with ethnic influences. All of the compositions on these albums come from experiences I have had living in the mountains, and my connection to nature.
Femetalism would like to extend a huge thank you to Dréa for taking the time to talk about her music. We have thoroughly enjoyed the EP and look forward to hearing the new material.

text: Hi all, I don't know if this problem has already been addressed, but I just beat the Elite Four on my patched SoulSilver (with the official english script dump and all), and right after the Hall of Fame sequence, it saves. After the credits though, it returns to the title screen, and bam, the game informs me that my save file is apparently "corrupted". It's not a particularly huge problem though, I just have to start again from the Dark-type room. Tried it twice, still no go. :\ I understand that this type of anti-piracy was often found in Generation III roms, which sucks. I was just wondering if there was any fix/bypass for this... if there isn't already.

Hubris, Halcyon, Guacamole

In the spacious mirrored café adjacent to the music hall, Kryštof operated the cake cart. Three tiers of cakes. Up top were the little cakes (called
petit fours
), then the larger cakes on the center shelf, and on bottom the highest triple-layer cakes. When customers signaled Kryštof, he wheeled the cart over to their table, sliced whatever cake they wanted and collected their money. Only the Czech people understood to pay him. The Europeans and Americans balked at a separate cake transaction. Why should they have to part with their korunas to pay for cake, when the rest of their meal went on the credit card?
Taught to say, "It's the system," Kryštof would shrug and move along with his cart, laughing to himself as they panicked over getting no cake and calling after him to come back.
And so it went for a couple of years, until his mother killed herself. But not for that incident, Kryštof may have gone on with the cart indefinitely: slicing the cakes, handing them over on a white silver-edged plate, collecting korunas, placing orders for espresso and cappuccino in the kitchen.
Shortly before the Communist takeover, his father had left them to earn money in Spain. It was as if he'd gotten some secret communist message that read
Get Out Now
. His wife and baby son remained behind in the countryside and he was not heard from again. Kryštof had just begun to walk. He had no memory of the man known as
. His mother went to work at the bone museum in Kutna Hora. She sat behind a table with another woman collecting admissions.
From the time he was very small the bone museum had fascinated Kryštof, filled as it was with the bleached bones of over 40,000 plague victims. Monks had made a shrine out of the bones from all the rotting corpses. He pictured them piled as ladders in the yellow canola fields. He could see the ancient monks clambering about heaving bones into rucksacks. Bones that decorated the chapel in every possible manner: bone chains looping across the ceiling, bone alcoves lit by flickering candles, a chandelier with its strung bones like delicate lace. He went often with his mother, when there was no one to watch him.
During the Communist regime there wasn't much in the way of food or much money to buy food. Meat was scarce. After they finally cleared out, he could never get enough meat in his body. Capitalism had come in like a racing floodwater that threatened to drown every person, house, even the great cathedrals of Prague were at high risk—the kiosks of postcards, T-shirts, glass-beads springing up everywhere.
It was May—Prague Music Month. His girlfriend Saskie worked the ticket booths around the city moving from location to location. She got very good at knowing how much to charge each customer. When the month ended, she opened a little glass-bead kiosk on the Charles Bridge. As the temperatures rose so did her prices for the cheap colored glass necklaces and bracelets the tourists scooped up like hungry fish.
Saskie was joyous. At last she felt warm and she was making money. The winter had been bitter, the springtime damp and chilly. Saskie complained all the time about her hands and feet and nose being ice cold. She had to sleep with her head under the blankets. That wasn't so bad. Often she reached for him during the night, stroking and making him moan. The days, however, were not so good. To warm her nose Saskie taped a menstrual pad to her face.
It nauseated Kryštof seeing her going about like this. He worried that people would think her insane, report her, and she would become incarcerated. He discussed this possibility with his friend, Čeněk, a waiter from the café. It was their break and they were smoking out back.
"A useless worry," Čeněk had assured him. "Nobody will touch her. Nobody cares about anything these days, now that the communists have left and taken with them the country's spirit."
A sobering idea—the country's spirit leaving the way the spirits of the plague victims had lifted like smoke. His friend had many opinions. Kryštof found himself listening, absorbing. Čeněk was also quite the ladies' man. Tall and lean with his handsome blond Czech looks, the French girls in particular sought him out. While he was taking their order, they'd engage Čeněk in small talk about food and wine, where to go for fun, how to find drugs. From the cake cart, the French girls always chose the little cakes iced like miniature packages with sugared ribbon-bows.
After work, Čeněk often met with those girls. The next day he would tell Kryštof tales of his love adventures at the hands of a French or Swedish girl, sometimes two. Or that exotic tall one from Marrakesh whose dark neck was wrapped in so many thin strands of gold metal that Čeněk claimed she left on during sex.
And, slowly, Kryštof began to see Saskie in a different light. She was still pretty (without the menstrual pad covering her nose) but she wasn't beautiful or glamorous like those foreign girls his friend took to bed. Saskie was a simple country girl infatuated by the city and what it could offer in the way of a better life. In his opinion she spent far too many hours working.
One night he suggested she put on a black leather g-string (lent by Čeněk to improve his sex life). Saskie flatly refused, calling Kryštof
. When he asked where she'd gotten such a word, she said she knew a lot of words. In English and other languages. And swear words, too, she said, shouting some he'd never heard in languages he couldn't identify. Then she pushed up the window of their small one room flat and flung the g-string into the night.
The beginning of what Kryštof saw as the beginning of something unexplainable. His mother took the poison. The bone museum superintendent inquiring by phone: was she ill all the missing days? Not that he was aware of Kryštof said hanging up quickly. Without knowing anything specific his palms had begun to sweat.
He left his job at the café and returned to Kutna Hora. Saskie didn't mind or try and stop him. Čeněk, his only real friend in Prague, had a similar reaction. Nobody tried stopping him. By then he felt his spirit gone. The way Čeněk claimed the communists had taken it when they fled the country.

In the backseat, Andrea practiced her words for the spelling bee: "aberrant," "bungalow," "empress," "gallivant." Only the second word in that group didn't have double letters. Her mother and father were driving her to the city-wide spelling bee at Central Catholic in their old Edsel. She had won at her school, beating out Judy, Geraldine, and Richard; and, aware of her hubris ("hu-bris"; two syllables; Greek, meaning "pride"), she hoped eventually to win the city and state awards, perhaps even the national.
Her father wore a short-sleeved shirt with tiny sailboats. Mom had told him to wear a white shirt, so he would look more dignified. But the day was hot, and he didn't want to tuck in his shirt.
"How are we going to lend money to your brother? How? How?" Her mother's voice became screechy.
Her father sighed. "He just needs it to get on his feet. I'm putting in overtime. It'll work out."
"We shouldn't be arguing in front of Andrea." Her mother turned around to look with soft eyes at Andrea. "Honey, we're not really fighting. Grown-ups can get crazy. Life is full of surprises." Her mother shook her head and sighed. "But your life will be happy. You should just ignore us."
Andrea tried to be oblivious: o-b-l-i-v-i-o-u-s. She wanted to be a poet or an artist, someone who could paint pretty gardens in lush colors and, beyond them, sailboats hoisting angelic, fluttering sails, traveling to Samarkand.
They drove past the Orpheum theater. Last year it showed
From Russia with Love
, which had a condemned rating from the Legion of Decency, so she could not see it. They drove past Bach's Flowers, Isaly's Deli, and Hershmann's Furniture Store with its giant, almost dangerous, sofas in the windows. A person could sink and suffocate in one of those quicksand sofas. The sidewalk was littered with newspaper and brown bags and a wine bottle. A scurfy man led a scurfy dog. Andrea was not allowed to have a pet: "Our house is too small." She looked across the street, where the pavement in front of Mancini's Funeral Home sparkled with embedded glass bits. Jimmy Mancini was in her seventh-grade class; he was a year older because he had polio and wore leg braces. But she thought he had a cute face.
"On our way home, let's remember to buy some kielbasa," her mother said. "I've got sauerkraut and potatoes at home." Her mother turned and reached to pat her hand. Her mother's forehead gleamed with perspiration. "My honey likes kielbasa."
to like kielbasa, but now she wanted to try chow mein and egg rolls, which Geraldine told her she had eaten at a cousin's wedding rehearsal dinner. Judy said egg foo yung was like scrambled eggs.
They stopped in front of the hot train rushing past and whistling. The smell of the oil and dust enclosed them. Her spelling book lay in her lap. On the "H" page, she smiled at "halcyon"—it was her favorite word: "halcyon times of peace," "halcyon days of youth."
The light was glossy; the train blared as if unhappy, rolled dark and hot, speeding toward Samarkand or New York City. The words on the side did not spell the destination.
On the radio, the announcer gave news about a war in a country beyond Russia. She had shed tears about brave soldiers dying in poems.
She turned the page to "G" words: "guacamole." She thought it was some kind of animal, a mole. She was surprised to read it was food, made from avocado. Guacamole. G-u-a-c-a-m-o-l-e.

Q: What was the inspiration for this piece?
A: On Zoetrope in the Flash Factory forum, which has weekly prompts for flash fiction, we were invited to write a story using "aberrant," "bungalow," "empress," "gallivant," and ending with "guacamole."

Q: What was your inspiration for this poem?
A: Infinity comes in different sizes, or orders. The smallest is countable infinity, such as the set of all rational numbers (numbers that can be represented by a ratio of two integers). The real number line contains all the rational and irrational numbers (e.g., pi, square root of 2). It has more elements and represents a higher order of infinity – an uncountable infinity.

Everything is as you perceive it, even if it isn't.
We'll start with Law of Closure:
Your side of the bed is empty,
but I tuck the corners tight to keep
the weight of you there, keep
the sheets pulled away from me
enough that, half awake, I can pretend
we're still at struggle.
There is always a bit of Lauren here, both
women, artists, a damaged interior
worth loving. This is the Law of Similarity:
every woman here, in this moment,
is falling asleep in an attempt
to forget what we've been through.
Once you'd entered you were always
on my skin, your hands
a tangled weight on me, your breath
my breath and then some. Law of Proximity knew
I'd be light-headed, intoxicated by a possibility in us.
I traced you: one side, the other;
Law of Symmetry. Each curve the other side
mimics, each freckle, crease – a comrade.
I even saw myself in you. When quiet
I could tell you knew we were the same
basic things: all atoms and wanting.
When everything has changed, we stay
the same in different moods.
We both know I'm just as broken
as you found me, again some paste and hope;
some Law of Continuity.
And now, our Law of Common Fate.
We turn from here and know we knew
from the beginning you would leave me.
Should I apologize for ever acting
as if we were moving in the same direction?

She's been to Mali, France, the U.K., and Ireland, but is currently living in Berlin, Germany.
Q: What was your inspiration for this poem?
A: Gesalt psychology is about the self-organizing tendencies of the mind, specifically spatial and visual groupings. I thought it'd be interesting to misuse the theory to better understand the ways in which we see the world in order to make sense of a relationship, or relationship ending.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- A car hit a land mine on a country road Sunday killing five blacks, including an infant, government officials said.
Two black men in the car were injured when the mine exploded on a gravel road on Kingston Vale farm near Nelsruit in eastern Transvaal province, about 100 miles east of Johannesburg, said Ronelle Henning, spokeswoman for the government`s Bureau for Information in Pretoria.
With Sunday`s five victims, 19 people have died in 16 land mine explosions in black townships and the country`s eastern and northern border regions since November.
The government blamed the outlawed African National Congress rebel group for the blast, which killed three women and two children, one of them 1 month old.
In other violence, security forces killed two men, a third was burned to death and police held two whites who shot at a group of black children outside Johannesburg, wounding a schoolgirl, officials said Sunday.
The government`s Bureau for Information reported the three deaths occurred in the 24 hours ending Sunday morning in three black townships.
The deaths raised to 248 the death toll in racial violence since President Pieter Botha imposed a nationwide state of emergency June 12.
Foreign Minister Roelof ``Pik`` Botha, decrying the U.S. Senate`s vote on sanctions against South Africa, said the legislators are encouraging violence in the racially divided nation.

I'm starting a new column on Fridays (or sometimes Saturdays) called Editor's week in Review. Basically, the premise is that it'll be a place for me to briefly talk about what kind of things I did or saw all week related to our world of apparel studies.
Over the past year I've been so overloaded with my personal and professional life–plus, the blog had grown so robust–that I had gotten in a rhythm of barely posting and putting my attention on other tasks. My thought was that every Worn Through post needed to be substantial, with lots of contemplation and research, and thus my drafts would get started and not finished. I'd get side-tracked and want to focus on my editorial and behind the scenes duties for Worn Through, my new role as a mom at home (he's 3.5 months), and my dissertation and array of journal articles, presentations, and related extracurriculars (I'm graduating at the end of this semester-cross yr fingers!) I do plan to continue writing my Rat Race: Grad School pieces (applause to anyone who knows from what band I derived that title).
But, I think if I have a casual weekly note on the blog, it'll be a great place to mention all those fun things going on that I'm working on, events I attend, and news articles that come across my desk. So..to start…from this week…..
I spent the week trying to knock out a bunch of smaller projects:
-Before I mention what I have been up to professionally, on a news front, I spent part of this morning trying to capitalize on the facebook/Coastal Contacts free glasses give-away. Needless-to-say, it didn't work, as the CC website crashed from all the people attempting to load it. This is a horrible representation of a fashion promotion, and of course now there are tons of disgruntled customers. I'll for sure use this as an example in my classes to talk about effectiveness of promotion and how a bad customer experience can effect you much more than a good one.
-On a professional front-I finished up the reference list (Harvard Style which I've never done before) and my bio for a journal article that is being submitted to the Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management. It had been R&R'd from Clothing and Textile Research Journal, but my team decided rather than the extensive rewrite needed to send back in, we wanted to see if JFMM would find it more suitable for them in its current form.
-I also started to get together some application packages for Assistant Profesor position for Fall 2011. It's promising to see there are so many more jobs open this year than last year. I believe that means some of the economic downturn's hiring freezes must be lifting. While most jobs aren't in my specialization, or in cities that will work for my family, there are a few I'm excited about. I hope to have them all out by late Dec. Wish me luck!
-I've also been working with my collaborators on our entry for the Berg Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion. Excited to have a piece in there as you've seen me write about my support of the project in previous posts.
-For Worn Through, this week has been all about supporting the new contributors, and the excitement over their participation, and all the new projects we can work on together. One of our interns, Mellissa, is helping me continue to analyze the reader survey we did earlier this fall, and I'm quite thrilled about that as the next phase of growth for the blog will certainly reflect reader preferences. Look for a site redesign sometime in 2011!
-Finally, on a pop/news front, I've been mulling over some blog posts and news article this week about the lack of luxury goods at outlet stores, and the general notion that outlet stores just aren't what they're cracked up to be. Often the products are really just made right for them, as compared to actually being from their first-run locations. Here's a good post on that from Deeply Superficial. I've been noticing this trend for a few years now, as a constant bargain hunter, and especially heading into the holiday season, I'm going to skip the outlets for sure. I bet there's an interesting research study in there about the psychology of bargain hunting and whether in this era of over-saturated bargain options (outlet malls, Bluefly.com, etc) how the consumer is reacting. Perhaps there's already a good study on that. Send it my way if you come across one. I'm just curious–not planning on doing it myself.
That's all for this week.

The monsoon "packing list"
Posted by Royal Sundaram on 21 Jun 2011
Travelling in the rainy season can be relaxing and irritating at the same time! While scenes of lush green trees watered by a grey-black sky can lift your mood; mosquitoes, power-cuts or slushy roads can be a big turnoff.
If you are travelling during the rains, make sure you carry the right things to avoid any unpleasant situation. So here's the monsoon packing list!
Torch – Power-cuts are common in rainy season, especially in India. So make sure you pack a solid torch light and make sure that it is within your reach and not at the bottom of all items! Torch light should be in your packing list wherever, whenever you go – rain or shine.
Handy Umbrella and Raincoat – If you are travelling in rains, carrying a handy umbrella and raincoat is obviously a must! Getting drenched in the rains can be an open invitation for fever, flu, wheezing and other problems. So buy them, which can sit comfortably in your bag. For best results to keep you dry, use both!
Immersion Rod – Rains always bring the mercury down and makes water super cool. Many hotels may be unable to provide hot water for a bath. So don't ever be in such a situation. Just carry an immersion rod with you!
Hand Sanitizer – You love the rains…but so do germs! Keep yourself miles away from infection. Carry a hand sanitizer wherever you go. This again, should be in your packing list – rain or shine.
Mosquito repellent – Mosquitoes breed in the rainy season, in the abundant stagnant water. Shield yourself from malaria, filariasis and other mosquito-borne diseases. Either carry the machine or carry a mosquito repellent cream.
Water proof shoes – Rains also make roads slushy. Carry gumboots or any water proof shoes. Carry an extra pair if you have the room in your suitcase.
Polythene bags – Despite all precautions, sometimes rain may catch you unawares or you may just not have the time to wash and dry clothes. Do carry few big polythene bags. Your 'good clothes' will not get spoilt by the damp and dirty clothes.
Hand fan – Rains lower the temperature. But sometimes it may just increase the humidity. Carrying a hand fan can be really handy in keeping you sweat free.
Tissue Paper – Rains may make your feet really damp, which the bacteria in your feet would really love! So keep it dry with a tissue. You can also wipe the sanitizer on your feet's sole and between leg's fingers.
Hair dryer – Hair dryer can be really useful in keeping your hair dry, thus keeping you away from diseases. If not for your hair, it can also dry your inners!
Medicines – Being down with fever is a horrible experience while travelling. So pack a few medicines for flu, stomach ailments. Talk to your doctor about what you can carry (don't try self-medication).
And finally –
Healthy munchies – Bus/train/flight delays are common in rains. Pack a few healthy munchies, like biscuits, apples, and baked snacks. If you are hungry, you can munch on these instead of samosas and chips fried in rancid oil!

Since 2012, she has been actively working to bring community solar projects to fruition. Coming on line this summer in Strafford, VT is a 7 MW array co-developed by Wolfe Energy. It will be the largest superfund solar project in the northeast. In 2016 Wolfe was Owner's Representative for a 5 MW solar project Request for Proposal process for a regional solid waste district, which should also be coming on line within the next year. In 2015, Wolfe developed a 110 kW array benefiting five local non-profits in Strafford, VT and is currently applying for permitting of another 200 kW community solar project in Thetford, VT.
Prior to starting Wolfe Energy in 2011, she co-founded groSolar, a national renewable energy company. She managed nearly all aspects of the Company at different times since its inception in 1998. During her twelve year tenure, continuing through to the present, Dori consults with clients about how to live using less energy, including house orientation and construction, appliances and lighting, and the generation of renewable energy, both electric and thermal. She sat on the Governor's Council for Energy and the Environment for six years. She has dedicated substantial volunteer time to educating students and communities in sustainable practices including developing an elementary school energy curriculum, serving over ten years on the town energy committee, and lecturing on renewable energy in various colleges.
Practicing what she teaches, she has lived in a passive solar home with her extended family where they net metered to zero with both wind and photovoltaics, generated hot water from the sun, kept chickens, and practiced permaculture. Prior to forming groSolar, Dori was a Senior Engineer at Bard, Rao + Athanas Consulting Engineers. She has been Engineer-in-Charge of over 750,000 square feet of building design projects.

Trump out of Paris . . . but Interested in a Bigger and Better Deal . . . And here it is
Here it is President Trump. And it's even better than the Paris accord.
It's called "AGAPE: The Accord on Global Air Pollution and the Environment".
It's a multi-pollutant agreement.
It's not just about climate. The U.S. is being impacted by traditional pollutant impacts blowing in from other parts of the world–which is requiring us to put more controls on our own domestic sources. Not a fair situation. Not an effective way to deal with the problem. Need a global multi-pollutant agreement that realizes the synergies of dealing with all this at the same time, holistically. And one that truly and fairly apportions costs and responsibilities for these interrelated problems.
It's become "a small multi-pollutant world after all." Time for a new, bigger and better deal.
I've incorporated this new international agreement with a domestic program so that it should all work more simply and seamlessly. The new Clean Air Act re-authorization reduces the need for approximately 75% of the current Clean Air Act.

This book opens your heart up and shows the importance of giving relentlessly and with love. The illustrations are simple, yet so powerful. The storyline really touches children of all ages, as it progresses into the future, into scenarios in which we all can relate to. A wonderful activity students could do would be to create their own giving tree and write compliments to other students and then present them.
Grade level: K-2
Lexile measure: 530L
The Giving Tree is a great classic read for all ages! This book teaches about a taking and giving relationship between a boy and a tree. The tree is happy providing for the boy all the way through the book. There is only a brief moment when the tree is not happy but even in the end she can still provide the one last thing that the elderly "boy" wants. I would use this book in my classroom to talk about how you can only take so much without giving.
Accelerated Reader Level: 2.6
This wonderful piece of literature is suitable for children of all ages, and adults too! This story promotes kindness and sharing. I think this book would be perfect to read at the beginning of the school year as friends are just settling into the classroom. This book would be perfect for sequencing, and I would even turn it into a center. This text would also be perfect to read during Earth Day!
Guided Reading - N
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein is a phenomenal classic for every generation! This book teachers such an important lesson that is appropriate for readers of all ages. I enjoy the simple illustrations and language which is great for beginning readers. The story line is easy to follow and interesting.
I would use this in the classroom when learning about finding the central message in a text. After a lesson on finding the central message, I would read this book aloud with my class and discuss the central message of this book with the students.

A couple years ago I did this during the month of March when Ryan and I celebrated our 7th anniversary. I took pictures every day during the month and called the album our "7 year itch" album. I love it because it shows who we hung out with, what we did in our free time, where we worked, and what life was like before having kids. I highly encourage you to do this if you haven't!
I haven't done this since children entered our family, so I decided this would be the month. I'm trying to write down a couple things we do each day and take at least one picture a day. I also decided since it is the month of Thanksgiving, that as a family, we would come up with one thing we are thankful for each day and I will include that in the album. This will truly help us to have an attitude of gratitude.
While I think that my kids will love to look at this album someday and see what our everyday life was like when they were little, I also think this will help me to stay focused on the small joys in life and the many ways I am blessed.
- Take a picture every day of things you are thankful for
- Write down one thing daily you are thankful for
- Find a book that helps you focus on living a life of gratitude (here's a book on kids and gratitude)
- Meditate daily on a verse that reminds you to give thanks (such as Colossians 3:15 "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.")

Becks' seven-hour bender with pals sans Posh!November 18th, 2007 - 12:58 pm ICT by admin
London, Nov 18(ANI)): Football superstar David Beckham gave his wife Victorias reunion concert a miss and partied for seven hours at a stretch with his fellow teammates in a late night bar crawl.
A brunette barmaid joined the Beckhams gang of boys and made the best of her five minutes of fame after being photographed with one of the worlds most desired men.
David, who appeared to be in the mood for fun, willingly obliged the barmaid with a super snap.
While Posh Spice was preparing for her grand return on stage with her band mates, Beckham was in the city last week for a friendly between his LA Galaxy team and the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Killing the hype and excitement of the spice girls return on stage, the group had been slammed for apparently lip-synching at the gig.
"It was amazing to see them back on stage again. They obviously put a lot of work into their dance routines, but it was disappointing they didn't sing live, the Daily Mail quoted a source, as saying. (ANI)

Initially I had intended for this review of Integra's newest no-holds-barred AV preamp to be part of an AV preamp comparison, one that would include reviews of the Marantz AV7005, Onkyo PR-SC5508 and of course the Emotiva UMC-1 published on Home Theater Review. I chose the above-mentioned AV preamps because they were all priced well below $3,000 retail, which in this day and age is a big selling point for many. While I'm sure we'd all love the chance to own a Krell Evolution 707 or Classe SSP-800, it simply isn't in the cards for many of us. But that doesn't mean we should be forced to go without. Unfortunately, we'll have to settle for three out of four because Emotiva and their UMC-1 bowed out after being the first to commit to such a review over a year ago. Happily there are AV companies out there that aren't afraid to go toe-to-toe with their competition, so with that I bring you the Integra DHC-80.2.

Blogging the best LEGO creations is all about trying to explain the idea behind an awesome build. But sometimes we're helpless, especially when even the author can't construe their work. Chris McVeigh, who is a genius when it comes to aesthetics of creations, shares a carrot mech that is so bizarre, even Chris can't explain its purpose. Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do, but to admire its bright and ludicrous design.

This battle carrot be for real
Even though there are some spooky carrots in this year's harvest, most of them fight on the light side of the force. Dvd introduces us to the terrible confrontation between the Vegetarian Republic (cute fluffy bunnies) and Carnivore Empire (even cuter puppies). Honestly, I don't see any reason for the conflict – I can imagine both sides happily coexisting in any Friends set.
The meat TIE fighter is neat, but the carrot X-wing deserves special attention. The amount of vitamin A in its adorable carrot guns should be just right to feed any imperial trooper, while its sprawling stems are a brilliant engineering solution for better maneuvering ability. Don't forget to check out the builder's photo stream for more awesome creations and hopefully more stories about the vegetables far, far away.

I will be using an example. Let's assume I am a Black American Male. I am 18 years of age and reside in a poor community (AKA, "Ghetto") and am fresh out of a under-performing minority High School. I live at home with my mother and father, who both work very hard to make ends meet. We don't have a lot of money, but we manage to get by since they both work. Thanks to my hard work and refusal to conform to gang culture that plagues my area, I am able meet the criteria for both merit based and need based aid to my local community college. Now that $5,000 tuition is even more affordable to me. Using a well crafted resume, and selling myself as a young black male, pulling himself out of the ghetto, (and a little luck) I am able to get a minimum wage job. This job pays for my car and gas, so I can get to the college. I stay at home with my parents, to save money. Whatever my scholarships can't pay, my job can. After I finish up my degree, I can now get a higher-paying job. (Same as before, carefully crafted resume, sell yourself, bit of luck, seek affirmative action). This higher paying job allows me to afford my own place, so I can get out of the "ghetto". If wanted to advance even further, I can continue my education using this higher paying job. The job would allow me to pay loans to go to a 4 year university if I so wished. I could also just keep working and not continue my education.
As you can see above, it is entirely possible and feasible to climb the social class ladder without free education. Many community colleges are relatively inexpensive. Free education at the four year university level would be a costly program, simply adding on to the growing national debt. I will also point out, any able bodied person can join the military in a non combat position to receive the benefits it provides. The military is often very generous with its benefits in exchange for your service, including helping you pay for college.
In summary, there are many ways to pay for or receive a college education without a national free college program.
StroodlePenguin forfeited this round.
1. Affordability of Community College/Trade Schools
Trade Schools and Community Colleges can be very inexpensive. The base tuition for my local Community College is $5,000. If you live off-campus (ideally still at home with your folks) and apply for merit based and need based aid/grants, then this drops even further. In comparison to 4 year colleges, it is a question of, "Do you want to buy a 6 inch sub for 5 dollars, or a full foot long for 500 dollars?".
2. Many other causes of Poverty
Not getting an education is not always the direct problem, sometimes it is simply a symptom. Often drug addiction or a pregnancy will factor into someone's decision to drop out. These people often drop out during high school, and they have nothing but their own decisions to blame. Drug addicts care more about working their McDonald's job to buy lines of coke then their schooling. Teen moms sometimes don't have the family support to go to school and raise a child (The child being an outcome of a poor decision from two people's judgement.) I will cite a personal experience just to show you the irresponsibility of some people. I know a teen who got his teen partner pregnant, twice. The first time, it was a miscarriage. This second time, it seems like they are gonna have a baby. He claims he couldn't afford condoms. So he apparently decided just not to worry about it and do it anyway despite not being ready to raise a child. This personal example shows you that some people do not make very good life decisions. These people should not be breeding, but funny enough, it is their stupidity that eggs them on to breed. So you can see, not everyone would be able or even want to take advantage of the free higher education. Many people stupidly just live day to day without any thought about long term consequences, such as their education.
3. Financial Aid
There are many avenues of aid open to those in need. Community College is a great way to improve your ability to seek jobs that have higher earning potential. It is also a lot cheaper than the full 4 year private experience. Although, if you insist on the 4 year degree, there is still a lot of aid open to you. Aid at a community college can just about give you a free ride already. Aid at a private 4 year university gives you a lot of help if you meet the criteria. This is especially true for the ones who struggle most to get their higher education, minorities. Through the help if merit based aid, need based aid, and affirmative action, minorities can help get a decent push in the right direction. This helps them in the fight against Institutional Racism. (Depending on your definition, some people prefer to redefine racism as prejudice plus power, I myself prefer the classics and using institutional racism in that specific case. Anyway..)
4. Cost of The Program
The cost of having free higher education would undeniably force a higher burden on taxpayers, or major budget cuts in other areas. College is expensive. Having Uncle Sam pick up the tab is expensive.
5. The Republican Party
The Republicans would not like this program. It would be hard getting it passed, and once it gets passed, it may not survive.
So in summary, you can see that free higher education is a costly, expensive program, that would not solve all cases of poverty.

Guide to buying the best snowboard jackets
Since snowboarding is a sport that is performed in an environment which not really suitable for everyone because of the temperature requirements so things can go south anytime. In such cases, all a person can do is have the right equipment to tackle the harsh weather conditions which involve wearing a jacket to keep the body warm and dry and protect it from any kind of harm. Snowboarding is a beautiful sport which offers excellent scenic view and thrill so a right pair of best snowboard jackets can help you enjoy it to its fullest.
Things to be considered before buying the best snowboard jackets
There are always some things that should be considered before rushing into buying the perfect pair of jacket for snowboarding-
Breathability- The first thing that one should look for is the breathability factor because it is more about the comfort and less about the look. Snowboarding is a great sport which involves a lot of action, and that action can work up the snowboarder's body resulting in a large amount of sweat. So the fabric of the jacket should be efficient enough to prevent it from getting stuck to the skin avoiding uncomfortable situations.
Waterproof- It is also important for the jacket to keep the body dry for the maximum time it comes in contact with water. If the jacket has the high spec, then it will tend to be drier. It is more about how much water the jacket can hold before the water starts to pass through it. High spec jackets might be more efficient in terms of waterproofing, but it can result in a higher price.
Cost- Before buying the jacket, always check the budget and try to be in the budget. Also, make sure what you want to prioritize more in terms of features as this can save you a lot of money.
How to choose the best snowboard jacket?
Being an extreme sport, snowboarding requires some high quality outwear and since there is so much of it present in the market, it becomes tough for many people to decide which one to choose. The points said below will help you in buying the right snowboarding jacket.
Jackets with different features are being introduced every day. Some of the features can include self-heating vests built inside the jacket. But these features come at a cost. But some features are worth looking for in a jacket like moisture absorbing design. Basically, its work is to keep the moisture away. Also, the jacket should have vents for airflow to prevent excessive sweating.
Fabric used
Every fabric has this rating, which determines its waterproof nature and the amount of water damage it can handle. The higher the number of ratings, the higher its efficiency increases to keep water out.
Breathability is another factor that one should look for as we discussed before. Moreover, below we've mentioned some good jackets that one can choose from.
Top 2 snowboard jackets
The jackets mentioned below are some of the best jackets out there as they are rich in features, have a great feedback and they come at a very reasonable price. The review of these jackets will help you in making a choice

So we can say that the amount of water it will stop is pretty average. Now let's have the real talk. In general, the higher the number, the better and when a sport like snowboarding is involved, then there are very high chances of water getting inside so the jacket should be able to prevent that water from reaching the body.

The need for medical marijuana in Colorado has led to a recent increase in the number of Colorado medical marijuana dispensaries. Colorado medical marijuana dispensaries are state regulated shops that sell marijuana and marijuana related products to those in possession of a Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry Card. In order to obtain this card, a patient must suffer from a severe illness or medical condition that interrupts their daily lives and makes it difficult for the patient to function normally. Some examples of such conditions that would qualify a patient to receive a registry card include cancer, chronic pain, aids, glaucoma, and nausea due to chemotherapy.
Types Of Colorado Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
There are many types of Colorado medical marijuana dispensaries. These dispensaries range from casual shops to high-end spas. Most dispensaries are very casual and display the type of decor that one would describe as psychedelic or expect to see in a "hippie's" basement in the 1970's. Neon colored posters and those promoting the different types of marijuana offerings are the general decor in most of the Colorado medical marijuana dispensaries. These dispensaries, many times, are family owned businesses and they are treated as such by the business owners and the customers. While purchasing marijuana may be more interesting that buying a soft drink, these dispensaries are run in the same manner as quick convenience stores. Not only do these dispensaries offer patients quick and easy service, but they commonly offer sales and other promotions that make the purchase of medical marijuana more affordable.
There are also more high-end dispensaries that offer patients a place to purchase medical marijuana, along with many other services. Many of these dispensaries are similar to spas or alternative treatment facilities. These types of dispensaries not only offer patients medical marijuana, but also offer patients a place to receive treatments for their ailments, such as massages, in a healing environment. These dispensaries are, often times, a stark contradiction to the more casual medical marijuana dispensaries that cover the Colorado area. Whether a patient prefers a low-key dispensary, or a fancier spa-like facility, there is a great number of Colorado medical marijuana dispensaries in the major Colorado cities. In addition, the number of dispensaries in the Colorado area is quickly increasing and has become a profitable trade for the Colorado economy. The medical marijuana business has not only become a profitable business option, but is helping thousands of people enhance their quality of life by controlling their pain, nausea, and other medical conditions.

Air India's $8 billion debt has lead Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sign off on a plan to sell all or part of this company including their 5 subsidiary companies, a joint venture, and a combined workforce of 27,000. With also acquired space near London Heathrow, land in Tokyo, Hong Kong, as well as Nairobi, Air India struggles to lose money in their airline operation over the years.
Buyers might be interested in Air India's overseas routes and landing rights at most global airports as well as their ground handling services and in house engineering. However, finding someone to purchase Air India in full with all their assets, subsidiaries, artifacts, as well as the accumulated debt is going to be very difficult. The Prime Minister's government must decide on how the sale will even take place and how much the airline is for sale.
On June 28, India's biggest commercial airline, IndiGo said that they were willing to buy out the airline's operations or even the entire business. As a result, their stock dropped 8 percent in 2 days clearing out half a billion dollars from the company's market value. Following this, owners of IndiGo said that the budget carrier would soon want to start low cost and long haul flights which would give them immediate overseas routes.
Beginning in 2007, Air India has been unprofitable since their merger with Indian Airlines Ltd. The company's net loss totaled to 38.4 billion rupees.
